The Grand Charity Ball

The arrangements for the charity ball for
the hospital seem to be progressing quite
well. Tickets were given to some of the
members on Friday evening and most all
the others received theirs the next day. Gen.
Bradley disposed of over thirty-fvs tickets
on Saturday, probably the largest number
that was. sold that day by any one person.
There have been enough sold already to give
good encouragement to the committees.
Bowman, the photographer, has supply of
tickets at his gallery, where tickets may be
obtained. Quite number were disposed of
Saturday evening by several members of the
committee. The d1y goods merchants are
already finding indications in their business
that an event of great social interest is being
prepared for by the ladies, and in many ways
the indications already show that the charity
ball will be an event which will rank with
the finest of the kind ever Witnessed in this
city.

Death OF Henry A. Duntze.

be1bm Oh henFy n DuMt20s
Henry A. Duntze, one of our best known
old residents, residing at 514 Chapel street,
died Saturday night. He was seventy-six
years of age and leaves one daughter, who
has lived with him, the widow of Captain
Baker of the Thirteenth Connecticut Volun-
teers, to mourn his loss. For many years he
was a gunsmith and locksmith, the only one
next to where the postoffiee building now
stands, on the Center street side. Here he
remained long time and afterward removed
to Orange street opposite the New Haven
Savings bank, where he did business for per-
haps ten years. This was his last place of
business. About ten years ago he retired.
During his time of business he mad q nonop-
oily and by his skill and business tact acouir-
ed considerable property. He was a good
mechanic and a man of much more than or
binary intelligence, being we'll versed and
widely read on many subjects. It was as
captain of one of the old militia training
bands that he is perhaps best remembered
and his 'draining days" was a subject on
which he loved to dwell when the old times
of the 'tmilish" were recalled At that
time there were two rival training bands in
the city, known as the uptown milish" and
the fdown town nnilish." He commanded
the latter, which was composed of about as
odd and novel body of men as wers ever
seen together. No two of them had on any
thing alike excepting cap and gun. He
was somewhat eccentric, but had deservedly
many friends because of his genuine worth.
He became partially demented about two or
three years ago and used to roam around the
streets wildly waving his arms and hurrah-
ing. He has been confined to his house for
over year.

Rev. DIR. John Hall of New York, whose
various courses of lectures in New Haven at
the Yale Theological seminary have made
many of New Ravens cultivated people
familiar with his powers as speaker and
instructor, has, according to reports, had
another streak OF luck financially. A New
York letter says:
John Hall is the 1uckiest of New York
preachers, at least in point of legacies and
inheritance. A few years ago he received
$50, 900 as a bequest from the late William
Sloane, and now he gets $40, 900 as a bequest
in the McCoscry will This is certainly very
handsome, but probably no more than he
deserves as an able and faithful preacher.
He certainly has done good work among
the higher circles, who need preaching as
much as any other. Hall never fatters the
rich. He is one of the simplest and plainest
preachers in the city, but his intellectual
power is such that in his presence wealth
holds no higher regard than means of use
fulness.

A MAN DROPS DEAD.

Goes Out To Make Calls-A short Time
Afterward Dead.
Hector Gerard, well known in this city
and Bridgeport, dropped dead last evening
about eight o'clock while in Manwaring's
been at the Union hotel all day, having
charge of it. When Charles Derby, the new
proprietor, came in at half-past six O'Clock,
Gerard remarked that it had been a very
lonesome and draary day for him and he
would Try to throw off his dull and over
coming feeling and break the monotony by
calling on some friends. That was the last
they saw of him, for at eight O'Clock he was
dead. The police ambulance was telephoned
for and the hody was taken to the undertak-
ing rooms of Lewis & Maycock.
The deceased had been a resident of New
Haven for fifteen years or m ore. Part of the
time he was ont of the city. He was pro-
prietor of restaurant in Bridgeport for a
time In New Haven he has been a pastry
cook at the New Haven House, proprietor OF
a saloon on Dixwell avenue, near the boule-
Church street, at the Stafford dining rooms,
and many other places also employed.
He was born in Canada, about thirty five
years of age and was unmarried. He was of
French Canadian descent He has brother
in Nashua, New Hampshire, to whom dis
patch soon made him aware of his brothers
death. He will probably come on and take
the remains to Nashua for their last resting
place. For the last year Gerard has been
unwell. His friends in Bridgeport were also
notified of his sudden demise by Alfred
Plante, close and intimate friend of the
deceased who has been with him almost con-
stantly for two years. He is also French
Canadian.
On Wednesday last the deceased had come
to the Union House, having just previously
for six months run q saloon on Dixweu ave-
nue., and had expected, if license could be
obtained, to lease that hotel in conjunction
with Charles Derby. Medical Examiner
White Investigated the case.

About Six Thousand Tons of Coal Now
Being Unloaded at the Docks-The
Coal Scarcity.
The coal strike is yet in full blast, but the
hopes of the strikers in keeping coal from
being shipped are commencing to wane.
Since the strike, with one exception ten days
ago, there had been no coal received in this
city by water until Friday last, when two
vessels loaded with cargoes for the Consol.
idated road arrived at this port. This il
only enough to last the road, however, for
five or six days. Before the strike occurred
the road had allowed its stock of coal to run
much lower than usual. There are about
2, 900 tons Consumed by the road every day.
Before the coal arrived some of the officials
began to feal uneasy lest they would have to
Thursday the men were shoveling off the
very bottom of the bins. Along the line
there have been received small consignments,
which were shipped in boxed cars. It was
necessary that the coal be put into boxed
cars in order to deceive the workmen along
the line as to its contents. They would be
afraid to handle the cars if they knew what
was in them.
Coal in this city is as yet at low ebb, but
it is thought that it will be but little longer
before the back of the strike will be broken
and there will be nearly much coal on
hand usual: that is, enough to satisfy the
demand. The nut sizes of coal are most
nearly exhausted in this city.
Four thousand tons OF coal arrived at this
port Saturday by boats of the Empire Trans
portation company, and more by the same
line is soon expected.
Miller & Strickland are now discharging
two cargoes of anthracite coal at the Manga
tuck dock. This is the first coal arriving
there since the strike. Miller & Strick-
land say that the demand on them for an
thracite coal is over one thousand tons per
day. With the help of the Housatonic road
the New York and New England, New York,
Lake Erie and Western, and their shipments
at tide water, they are more than able to
meet all demands upon them
